News and Notes
JIMMY BROWN
As most everyone knows, the
A.H.S. band entertained around
70 persons at its annual banquet,
which was held on Wednesday,
November 21, at 7:00 p.m.
It was pjanned and arranged
by our own Junior Josey and Jim
my Brown, who are officers of
the band.
Everyone had all the barbecue
and slaw with rolls and coffee
that we could eat. Our chap
erones were Mr. and Mrs. Paul
Lentz, Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Mor
ris, Mrs. Mazel Lyke and Spencer
Hatley. We were entertained
with a dance ■ afterwards.
H: 4: 4:
This was the first year our
band was not asked to attend the
Charlotte Christmas Carrousel,
but Mr. Hatley settled it by stat
ing they just didn’t want any
competition.

The band is planning to give a
small concert of Christmas songs
in the series of Christmas music
begun by the A.H.S. chorus led
by Paul Fry last Friday night.
This series of concerts is spon
sored by the Merchants Associa
tion and Chamber of Commerce.
A different group is in charge
each week, the performances be
ing given at the Wiscassett play
ground.

Miss Caughman was taking up
money for the Red Cross. Bud
Griffith took out a dollar bill
and a dime.
“Which one you want?” he
cisk0d
“Well, I’ve always been taught
to take the smallest,” she an
swered, “so I’ll take the dime.
However, Fll just take this piece
of paper to wrap it up in.”
Bud Griffith was telling Keith
Byrd about a hunting trip.
“Buddy Boone and I saw some
of the biggest tracks in the snow.”
“Hm,” grunted Keith. “Tracks
make awful thin soup.”
Betty Brunson had a bad dream.
She dreamed that Henry and
Errol Flynn were fighting over
her — and Henry won.
Doug Knotts says, “If you give
a girl the world with a fence
around it, she’ll turn around and
give you the gate.”
Mr. Fry was writing a note for
Johnny Youngblood to take to Mr,
Lentz.
“Why do you write so slow?”
asked Johnny.
“He can’t read very fast,” ex
plained Mr. Fry.
Wouldn't You Like To Know
Who picks up night when it
falls?
What becomes of the pieces when
day breaks?
What is it that clouds steal
across the sky?
Which is which when a man is
beside himself?
Are lofty thoughts those that
originate in an empty loft?
Who paid the Charge of the
Light Brigade?
How can a person “pass the
night” when lying asleep in
bed?
Why is it that all movie de
tectives wear their hats in
the house?
Pasty Pettit’s head is as good
as new. After all, it’s never
been used.

WHO'S WHO
LESLIE SWANNER
Many articles have appeared
lately in newspapers over . North
Carolina on Leslie Swanner, our
football CO-captain, and it only
follows as natural for Leslie to
be our “Who’s Who” for this
nionth.^
Here is one of the most ver
satile students in A.H.S. Despite
being the co-captain of the foot
ball team and taking five sub
jects this year, Leslie finds time
to be active in the Monogram
club and Mixed Chorus, along
with being the business manager
of the Full Moon and staff mem
ber of Crossroads. This 5’ 10” sen
ior readily admits that he has
little spare time.
Leslie’s idea of real “yummy”
eating is a big T-bone steak with
all the trimmings. He has singled
out Jeff Chandler as his movie
ideal, although he has no pref
erence to which girl, just so long
as she’s good-looking.
Next year will probably find
this senior following up his love
of sports and his favorite sub
ject, sociology, in a college in
N. C. Leslie has not yet made
up his mind which college he
wants to attend, but he definite
ly wants to major in physical
education. This will be a fitting
vocation for this sports-minded
boy.

PAULA HOWARD
When you’re walking down the
hall and notice that everyone
se&ms to be looking at a very
attractive 5’ 2” brunette, you
immediately realize that it’s
Paula Howard.
Paula is the beauty queen of
the senior class. She was se
lected to represent A.H.S. at the
Carolina Carrousel, where she
caused much comment. Home
coming saw this hazel - eyed
beauty crowned queen.
A school day is well filled for
her. Five subjects and varsity
basketball leave little time for
extra-curricular activities, but
Paula manages to take active
part in the Monogram and Boos
ters’ clubs, and on the Full Moon
and Crossroads staffs.
You would find that Paula
would be happy in a restaurant
or in a hot dog stand, since she
likes food, period, without any
particulars. Doris Day takes the
spotlight as far as movie ac
tresses are concerned, and any
picture with Jeff Chandler will
find Paula in the audience.
After finishing school this year,
Paula plans to attend Gardner-
Webb Junior college and then to
enter Wake Forest to complete
her training for her major, relig
ious education.
Whether at Gardner ■ Webb,
Wake Forest or A.H.S., Paula
will continue to turn admiring
glances in her direction.
Scholarship Club
Is Now Organized
» A new organization has been
formed to help the seniors of
A.H.S. to apply for scholarships
to various colleges and universi
ties. This committee is composed
of Miss Holbrook, chairman, and
the following teachers as ad
visors: Mrs. Westerlund, Miss
Michael, Miss Caughman, and
Mr. Fry.
The purpose of this organiza
tion is to investigate scholarships
at different colleges and uni
versities and advise the students
in applying for these scholar
ships.
The committee has already
compiled a list of available
scholarships, and most of the
senior English classes have fill
ed out cards specifying their
college choices and listing the
scholarships they could apply
for.
Guidance Program
Will Be Continued
The guidance program for the
last half of this semester is as
follows:
The freshmen are studying the
subject “What Good Is ^ligh
School?” The questions taken
up have been: why should you
go to high school, why high
school is as it is, what’s wrong
with high school, and what’s
right with high school?
“Why Stay In High School” is
the topic of the sophomore class.
The juniors are taking up the
subject “Money and You”. The
chapters on this are: with plenty
of money, where does it come
from, working for your money,
don’t fuss—budget!, and spend
ing your money.
“Preparing for Marriage” is the
topic the seniors have been study
ing. Several speakers have spoken
to this group on questions con
cerning this subject. Mr. Ed Hol-
bert, the first speaker, discuss
ed “The Stages of Love”. Mrs.
John Haynes spoke on “Going
Steady”, and Mrs. E.'P. Brunson
discussed “Choosing the Right
Mate”.
Plans have also been made for
others to speak on different oc
casions.
